Stencil ATC's

I signed up for a stencil ATC swap in November on Rubberstampchat. The swap was to send in 8 and receive 8 ATC's back- and the hostess was Deb Lovett.

I was very happy to get out some Pan Pastels-from the Donna Downey Mixed Media l collection and stencils I had not used at all from Crafters Workshop (from Creative Cuts and Crafts in Elmhurst, Ill) . The stamps are from Artistic Outpost .I stamped the stopwatch image a second time and added a 2nd layer of it for a little dimension. For my first attempt at Pan Pastels and stencils, I am pleased with the outcome : ) The pan Pastel pigments do have to be sealed- so they are misted over with a fixative (between each layer).

Linking this to a few Challenges:

Wow... your stopwatch ATC is an absolute beauty! I love how you've stamped the beautiful AO image inside it, and the background is lovely too. Congrats on trying out a new technique with the pastels and stencils - it's come up a treat! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Fun With ATCs - and what a lot of great ones you got in the swap too!Alison x

What a fun swap! Love what you did with the AO images, so cool to place the scene in the stopwatch. The stencils and pan pastels are gorgeous as well! Love!!! Glad you entered this beauty at the AO January Referral Program and thank you so much for playing along with us FSC gals! Hugs!

These are all amazing! What a fabulous swap! All so fun! I hope you get a chance to play along with us this week at Inkspirational this week and at Technique Tuesday this month--I would love to see what you do with our challenges! :)

Great job using the pan pastels! I also have had them for a few months and just tried them last week at a class I attended. I look forward to working with them. Thank you for the inspiration! I'm so glad you shared your project with us over at the Frosted Designs blog.
